Another take on the recent Facebook subscription announcement, this more from a Twitter comparison POV. However, I do think Twitter should be afraid of Facebook, and think it’s safe to say that MySpace wasn’t afraid enough of them.

I really like this story for a number of reasons. It shows how individuals with a vision can use social media to create change in their lives, as well as how brands can use that to create a real win-win-win for themselves, the individuals, and their customers.

The tool that you’re using to post on Facebook can have a big (like up to 70% big) impact on your performance. I don’t see this as a negative, but rather Facebook simply taking near-term measure to correct a skew that was happening because of how they were consolidating or grouping posts that they’re system thought was coming from the same source. Ultimately, Facebook is sure to figure out a more organic way of handling this.

With the holiday season coming up (I know, but at least I’m not hanging lights yet), this is a good reminder to have your mobile ecom sites fine-tuned. The level of mobile activity is remarkable, and if you think of it in terms of how much a well-optimized site could impact your bottom line, it feels even more important.

The so-called F-commerce space is going to be very interesting. Sneakpeeq is a way of leveraging a crowd to add a kind of gaming layer to shopping. A little bit Groupon, but more of an immediate game aspect.
